Roslagsbanan

This old system runs out of Stockholm East Station. At one time one transfers to trams to get into central city, now they transfer to the metro.

The system uses a very unique narrow gauge of 2' 11-3/32". The systme consits of 3 branches.

I have not riden the system, but did pay a visit to the terminal station.
